“…As a part of the SOPI-STROKE project, the KIOM recently created the Korean standard PI for stroke (K-SPI) for use in Korea [4–6]. This system consists of 4 types of PI (FH, DP, YD, and QD) and 44 types of indicators [5].…”

“…The QD pattern is characterized by Qi deficiency with diminished internal organ function, which is marked by shortness of breath, lassitude, listlessness, spontaneous sweating, a pale tongue, and a weak pulse. The YD pattern is characterized by Yin deficiency with diminished moistening and the inability to restrain yang, which is usually manifested as fever [4–6]. …”

“…As part of the research on the standardization of oriental medicine stroke PI, the Korea Institute of Oriental Medicine (KIOM) collected stroke data for stroke PI from June 2006 to March 2009 [4–6]. The data were obtained from 12 TKM hospitals and oriental medical universities throughout the nation (Figure 1).…”

“…The Kolmogorov-Smirnov method was used to test the normality of the continuous variables, which were analyzed using one-way ANOVA (as a parametric method) and the Kruskal-Wallis test (as a nonparametric method). The examination parameters were extracted from CRFs for the standardization of stroke diagnosis developed by an expert committee organized by the KIOM [4–6]. Each patient received an examination of the status of the tongue and pulse, tongue color (pale, pale-red, red, or bluish purple), fur color (white fur or yellow fur), fur quality (thick fur or dry fur), special tongue appearance (teeth marked, enlarged, mirror, or spotted), pulse location (floating or sunken), pulse rate (slow or rapid), pulse force (strong or weak), and pulse shape (fine, slippery, rough, or surging).…”

“…Previous reports have described the PI process for differentiating stroke victims with four TKM types: the fire-heat pattern, dampness-phlegm pattern, Yin-deficiency pattern, and Qi-deficiency pattern [4–6]. However, the meaning of a pattern is often ambiguous in clinical practice, and it is difficult to objectively arrange or accumulate the clinical data regarding these patterns or perform a systematic analysis of the results.…”

In traditional Korean medicine (TKM), pattern identification (PI) diagnosis is important for treating diseases. The aim of this study was to comprehensively investigate the relationship between the PI type and tongue diagnosis or pulse diagnosis variables. The study included 1,879 stroke patients who were admitted to 12 oriental medical university hospitals from June 2006 through March 2009. The status of the pulse and tongue was examined in each patient. Additionally, to investigate relatively important indicators related to specialist PI, the quantification theory type II analysis was performed regarding the PI type. In the first axis quantification of the external criteria, the Qi-deficiency and the Yin-deficiency patterns were located in the negative direction, while the dampness-phlegm (DP) and fire-heat patterns were located in the positive direction. The explanatory variable with the greatest impact on the assessment was a fine pulse. In the second axis quantification, the external criteria were divided into either the DP or non-DP patterns. The slippery pulse exhibited the greatest effect on the division. This study attempted to build a model using a statistical method to objectively quantify PI and various indicators that constitute the unique diagnosis system of TKM. These results should assist the development of future diagnostic standards in stroke PI.

A symposium on pattern identification (PI) was held at the Korea Institute of Oriental Medicine (KIOM) on October 2, 2013, in Daejeon, South Korea. This symposium was convened to provide information on the current research in PI as well as suggest future research directions. The participants discussed the nature of PI, possible research questions, strategies and future international collaborations in pattern research. With eight presentations and an extensive panel discussion, the symposium allowed participants to discuss research methods in traditional medicine for PI. One speaker presented the topic, 'Clinical pattern differentiation and contemporary research in PI.' Two speakers presented current trends in research on blood stasis while the remaining five other delegates discussed the research methods and future directions of PI research. The participants engaged in in-depth discussions regarding the nature of PI, potential research questions, strategies and future international collaborations in pattern research.
